For the  ecologist, the fish pond is a small laboratory: easy to investigate  and responding rapidly to manipulation. For the aquaculturist, the  ecology shows the ways and means of interventions ensuring an increase  of production. \u003cbr\u003e  The book deals with the different aspects of natural production within  a pond, referring it to African conditions: considering first the role  of soil as source and sink of nutrients for the water, then nutrient  cycling within water and the fate of fertilizers added to ponds, and  finally the contribution of natural productivity to fish production.  \u003cbr\u003e  The important sum of information brought together in this volume is  valuable for both aquaculturist and ecologist, who lack a handbook on  the ecology of a fish pond. It will capture the interest of African  aquaculturists and stimulate aquaculture research on natural  production. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-10-09\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789048141326\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-3292-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x203cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 230\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398562574476,"sku":"9789048141326","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048141326.jpg?v=1771513389","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789048141326","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
